Operation
Step 1: Safe Location
Before starting the portable generator there are two
equally important safety concerns regarding carbon
monoxide poisoning and fire that must be addressed.
Operation Location to Reduce the Risk of Carbon
Monoxide Poisoning
WARNING!
Engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a poisonous gas that could kill you in
minutes. You cannot smell it, see it, or taste it.
Even if you do not smell exhaust fumes, you could still be
exposed to carbon monoxide gas.
• Operate portable generator only outdoors, at least 6.1
m from occupied spaces with exhaust pointed away to
reduce the risk of carbon monoxide accumulating.
• Install battery-operated carbon monoxide alarms or
plug-in carbon monoxide alarms with battery back-up
according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Smoke
alarms cannot detect carbon monoxide gas.
• Do not run portable generator inside homes, garages,
basements, crawlspaces, sheds, or other partially
enclosed spaces even if using fans or opening doors
and windows for ventilation. Carbon monoxide can
quickly build up in these spaces and can linger for
hours, even after this product has shut off.
• Always point the engine exhaust away from occupied
spaces.
If you start to feel sick, dizzy, weak, or your homes
carbon monoxide alarm sounds while using this product,
get to fresh air right away. Call emergency services. You
may have carbon monoxide poisoning.
Operation Location to Reduce the Risk of Fire
WARNING!
Exhaust heat/gases could
ignite combustibles, structures or
damage fuel tank causing a fire,
resulting in death or serious injury.
• Portable generator must be at least 1.5 m from any
structure, overhang, trees, shrubs, or vegetation over
30.5 cm in height.
• Do not place portable generator under a deck or
other type of structure that may confine airflow.
Smoke alarm(s) must be installed and maintained
indoors according to the manufacturer’s instructions/
recommendations.
• Carbon monoxide alarms cannot detect smoke.
• Do not place portable generator in manner other than
shown.
Prevent Carbon Monoxide (CO) Poisoning
• Use outdoors at least 6.1 m from any home.
• Point exhaust away from all homes and
occupied spaces.
• Install CO alarms inside your home.
